getaddrinfo.c test case

running this test case on newer glibc's will show:
$ ./getaddrinfo localhost6
--- looking up 'localhost6' for family 0 (0)
getaddrinfo(...) = EAI_NONAME, trying again with AI_CANONNAME
getaddrinfo(...) = 0
getnameinfo(...) = 0
	name = 127.0.0.1
	service = 23
getnameinfo(...) = 0
	name = ::1
	service = 23
--- looking up 'localhost6' for family AF_INET (2)
getaddrinfo(...) = EAI_NONAME, trying again with AI_CANONNAME
getaddrinfo(...) = 0
getnameinfo(...) = 0
	name = 127.0.0.1
	service = 23
--- looking up 'localhost6' for family AF_INET6 (10)
getaddrinfo(...) = EAI_NONAME, trying again with AI_CANONNAME
getaddrinfo(...) = 0
getnameinfo(...) = 0
	name = ::1
	service = 23

on older glibc versions, that "127.0.0.1" entry wont crop up
